Food Favorite Ethnic Candy?

[sonya]

I have a sweet tooth. Yesterday for the first time I tried really yummy Mexican candy:

Pulparindo, flattened sugared tamarind pulp mixed with chili

Cerezo Mazapan (crumbly peanut candy)

I'm looking for more suggestions of candy I should try from all over the world.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Pocky from Japan. They are long biscuit stick that are coated in chocolate, strawberry, and a variety of other flavors. They're my favorite foreign candy. I actually found some in the oriental foods section of Wal-Mart. You can also order a variety of flavors from J-List.

I love pocky!

I also like the Japanese gummies, don't know the name.

Another favorite is Turkish delight.

I like Marzipan.

From Canada, there's Mackintosh Toffee, Smarties (the chocolate ones) and Coffee Crisps.

From Spain, there are gummi fried eggs. I LOVE those things!

From England, there are Rowntree Fruit Gums and Maltesers.

I'm also a HUGE fan of Marzipan, Smarties (they look like pastel M & Ms) and Halva from the middle east.
